i think it was the 1990s. i was a kid. i wasn't ready. he was too good for me. she had nothing but compliments for ben affleck but says ultimately when they split in 2000 he wasn't in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend. >> i don't think i would be interpreting those remarks, i would be wondering what it means. >> pretty candid. >> when you are dylan are out there doing the reports in the cold we feel your pane. >> no you don't. >> research suggests we do. a new study finds looking at someone slivering in cold weather is enough to make us feel chilly too. researchers call this temperature can contag ion. we only feel your pain in winter. >> oh. >> you find yourself yawning. when they're cold it's even worse. >> when are you next to someone with a gravelly voice, you have to clear your throat.

>> or someone is talking with a southern accent and you lapse into it. >> that's what's trending today. now to our special series start today, three ways to stop mindless spending out of your life. first, meet queen of frugal a mom of four and husband came back from a mountain of debt on a there are 30,000 salary. so how do they live in a million dollar home? >> hi i'm jordan painl. i'm the mother of four. i'm an every day finance and frugal living expert. the best deal we've ever gotten was our house, it was a short sale we were patient. it took 12 months we worked hard saved up got it for less than half of what it's worth. when i was a newlywed my husband and i fell into bad times, within three months we put $15,000 on credit cards, one day i looked at myself in the mirror and realized i was unhappy. i said you know what that is not the life for me.

the paiges are not going to be unhappy people. we made a commitment we would give it five years, we would live like nobody else would so hopefully we can the rest of our lives live like nobody can. one fundamental principles we call the 70% rule. we live off 70% of our take-home is. 20% goes straight into savings, 10% we tithe to our church for other people who don't do that i say go to retirement investing our children's college funds. one great way is to buy off season. we go after christmas, stock up on gift boxes, wrapping paper and neighbor gifts i got half the price. one way to save on groceries is to buy on sale and plan our meals around that. you can save on mascara, eye liner, eyebrow pencils and lipstick. spend your money on good eye shadow eye shadow primeer and

lipstick. my favorite lipstick was a dollar at the dollar store. one way to buy items for your home is secondhand. everything including the piano and globe we bought at yard sales or thrift sorts for literally a couple dollarsch one way to save on furniture is buy scratch and dent or floor samples. this crib was a floor sample. perfect condition. we got it for less than half the price. the way we live as a balanced frugal life is a lifestyle choice. there is no start point. there is no end point. it's just our way of living. >> she's really >> she is really impressive. can we agree? >> yes. >> she is here every thursday to help you save more. adding to the tips, we're going to add a few. you have three this morning. the first is lose what you're not using. >> like that gym membership that costs $58 a month, two-thirds of people don't use it, $600 a year, if you're not going to use it, quit.

>> when you go to the grocery store, i load up on fruits and vegetables and then they rot. >> people waste 35 million tons of food a year. that works out to $2,000 per household. keep track. it's the same stuff every week. just don't buy it. >> and those cell phone data that wireless data, we are 85% of us are buying more than we're using to the tune of about $20 a month, $250 a year. reduce your plan. >> okay. the other tip you have which i think is really interesting, calculate what your work is worth and then see -- whether it's really worth it to spend that money. >> everybody should know how much they earn per hour. so the easy way to do this, take your annual salary, take off the last three zeroes and divide by two. so if you earn auto,000 thou$50,000 a year, divided by two that, is $25 an hour. then figure out what things are costing you. a night out at movies, two hours

on that $5,000 salary. a new car, 21 hours a month and a wedding dress, $58, you might want to buy a preowned one. >> the wedding dress is more expensive than the car? >> the car per month. 21 hours per month. >> i'd rather see that wedding dress. >> and then finally, what was your last -- >> take a purchasing pause. every time you think about buying something, not that you need but that you want, i want you to put it on hold for 24 hours. think about it. and today, tweet at me and start today what you're not buying, send me pictures. i want to see them. we'll post them. >> it's a really good idea f you're not thinking about it 24 hours later, you didn't need it. >> you didn't. it's another pair of black pants. >> i do know that. she'll be back in our next hour to help you determine your budget personality. over to matt. >> thank you. kristen stewart stars with julianne moore playing the daughter of a woman with alzheimer's disease and her

character starts off as black sheep of her family because she wants to be an actress instead of going to college. take a look. >> you're so smart. there's so much more you could be doing to your life. >> like going to college? >> yes, yes, like college. >> figured out what i want to do and i'm doing it. it's a good thing. >> you're helping tom with med school. you helped anna what w. law school. >> sweetheart, those are real careers. i just don't want you to limit your choices. >> you want to make my choices. >> no, i don't. >> i'm really happy. >> welcome back. >> thank you. >> how you been? >> great. >> thank you. i like this role. because, you know, there's a big trance formation in this character. you start out, "black sheep" may be too strong a word. tell me about her. >> she is a creative person in a family of academics who really want to be able to understand and define everything.

and my character very much lives in the gray area and there is ambiguity and she's comfortable with that. she is able to stand up and become the backbone emotionally for the family. >> the event that really changes the dynamic is this family is when your mom's character develops early on set alzheimer's disease. and trying to come to terms with what is happening in her life, how does that change the relationship between you two? >> i think it is accelerates a couple years of not turmoil but misunderstanding that is very normal for somebody who is 20, 23, 24. it sort of, you know, along with alzheimer's comes a very different perspective on time. and so they sort of -- they circumvent the years and say we need to value the moments immediately. >> they hit fast forward. >> exactly. >> maria shriver is the executive producer of this movie. she developed an ad campaign to draw attention to alzheimer's disease.

you and julianne moore take part in that. have you had any personal experience with the disease prior to this? >> i have not, no. and have not. but i oddly feel i've been able to reap the benefits of this experience without the pain that goes along with actually having a relative or a friend that has to struggle through that. >> you learned a lot about it because of the movie? >> yeah. hopefully that energy, when something is truly real on screen and somebody is actually experiencing something and to be in julie oon's presence, you have to be a sociopath to not have a real connection and be truly affected by what she's doing. it's contagious. it comes across. i think audiences are going to be able to grow in the same way that we did. >> let me talk about you a little bit. i haven't interviewed you all that many times. the times i have, i come away with the idea that you're very comfortable with one aspect of this career, the working actress. >> yeah. >> and less comfortable with the public persona aspect.

is that a fair assessmen snchlt. >> absolutely. especially considering i started, you know, thinged blew up for me at a young age at 17. and, yeah. i love talking about the work. it's bizarre. things become sort of -- you feel like you're selling something and i've never been into that notion. i just like sharing things. >> but the movie star part of it is not your cup of tea. the working part of it is your cup of tea? >> yeah. >> do you think you'll become more comfortable with it the longer you do it? >> i mean, you know, i think with every breath i take, i'm more comfortable with it. i don't know. i'm cruising along. i'm doing okay. but, yeah. i just -- i'm a fairly internal person. most actors are performers. and i'm just sort of -- i'm not like that. >> you've been going for a long time now working very hard. i understand you're about to take some you time.

what is you time for you? >> well, right now, yeah, i worked for a solid two years. i definitely need my mind and my sort of spirit and body back. as soon as i wrapped the movie, i feel like i need to scrape my knees or get a sun burn. so right now i'm home and away in los angeles. i love it there. doing other creative ventures to keep my mind busy until i find the next big thing. i want to find something that i want. the next job i do, i'm going to break my back on it. it's going to take a minute to find it. >> and taking care of three dogs at home, too. >> that, too. >> thank you. it's a pleasure. "still alice" opens in new york in los angeles and then nationwide in february. savannah? >> thanks. speaking of that, coming up this morning, this morning's oscar nomination, plus -- >> i'm not oscar nominated. >> you're even better. our chef is making our favorite meal. i love me some meat balls. >> swedish. >> under $20.

personality. for some puppies, this would be way too much. for him, it's kind of his personality. he has it in him that he can deal with this environment very well. he wants to get down and explore right now. >> saxon, will the chaos of everyday life here in a studio on a live show will this prove to be beneficial as a guide dog? >> yes, definitely. it will make him a very well-adjusted dog. he's having a lot of great experiences here. he's seeing novel objects such as the cameras, hearing all different kinds of sounds. even just to walk in on the street is very exciting for him, so that's a great experience for him. and he's getting to meet a lot of people and learning to work with lots of different types of people and different people that maybe he doesn't know as well is a great experience for him. >> for people keeping score at home how many accidents has he had in the studio? >> well he's had a few in his little pen. two, i think. but just in general, he's done really well. it's a work in progress so it's going to happen. >> you can let him down. or are you not supposed to? i don't know. >> that's not one of the puppy
